    Increased Highway Patrol presence...

    So in the past few days I've noted an increased presence of Highway Patrol units out and about. Earlier than normal, later than normal, further away from the regular hangouts than normal and just more of them. No shortage of customers being pulled over too. Anyone know whether this is a blitz of sorts, a new intake of recruits ready for release, or an effort at more road policing? I'm not bothered by it at all, but it has been very noticeable

    Not sure about that theory - I saw a Craptiva cop car in Southland today.

    Julie Ann Genter hates speeders so instead of catching criminals the police are now tasked with writing more tickets.

    I think the police have solved all the real crime, so now they can focus on speeding. Thanks, NZ Police, good to know you're working hard.

    Pack of assholes.

    Given the number of road deaths already this year you must have expected more HP on the roads surely....

    Besides - what with lowering the speed limits everywhere we will need many more people to write out all the tickets that are expected...

    Yep the socialist regime wants your cash and wants you riding pushbikes so you can be run over and then picked up by an ambulance funded by your own ticket...... Ve arre Vere to Velp zou!!!
    The housing dept even hired there own scientist to contradict the ministry of health to put all the poor people back into meth houses sitting empty.....

    The good news for the Police is KrispyKreme have opened in Manukau.
    Uber Eats probably do Patrol Car delivery.

    Totally understand why, just wondering why it took this long. Now to see if it's a sustained effort, we sure as heck need it.

    That's easily achievable. If people didn't fail to stop.

    I know, let’s have no police chases at all and let theiving criminal scum feel free to take off from the scenes of their crimes safe and happy in the knowledge they won’t be pursued.
    (Of course should they injure or kill anyone else in the process we will still blame the cops).

    Police are supposed to be the level-headed ones here. They consciously decide that it's worth putting the public's lives at risk over a stolen car or whatever. Stolen property is not worth killing people over. But the dumbfuck cops in this country are so fucking eager to get their jollies in a chase that I doubt anything will change.
